I don’t know if I have ever mentioned that I love big hair. I think I must have been from Texas in another life. I love big bouncy curls. My hair is pretty thick so it takes me a while to curl my hair. I recently got to try the new Kiss InstaWave, it instantly creates beautiful, long-lasting curls with just 
the touch of a button. 

From their website here: 

Curls Made Instantly with the Touch of 

a Button

EASY TO USE. TANGLE-FREE. VERSATILE.

Lets get started

It took me a second try to get a nice bouncy curl. Wait 8 to 10 seconds depending on how tight you want your curl. Place hair in front of wand for an outer curl or place hair in back of wand for inner curl. The dialer has a left or right button depending on which direction you are for. You can even try alternating every curl left to right for more volume. Which is what I was doing here.

How to use

1. Hold InstaWave vertically

2. Place a section of hair on the InstaWave curling rod

3. Touch the Curl Dial either left or right, and the InstaWave instantly and automatically catches and curls the hair

4.Hold for 5-10 seconds, hold longer for tighter curls and less for beachy waves

5.Pull the InstaWave down vertically, letting hair out

It has a 1 inch ceramic iron barrel, which is a perfect size for my shorter hair. As of right now that is the only size they have, they might release additional sizes later on. When you turn on Insta Wave it has two settings low and hi it reaches a maximum temperature of 420. When you first turn it on it has a red light and when it is ready the light turns blue. You do hear a light buzzing noise, but it is very vague. It didn’t bother me. If you accidentally forget to turn it off, it will automatically shut off after 90 minutes.

All done this was before I put my fingers through for a bit of a looser curl. I really liked the results I achieved. I was a bit skeptical at first because I had just cut my hair a couple days ago. A lot shorter and was not sure if it would work on my shorter hair. InstaWave worked just fine. It also helped me because I have thick hair to really section of my hair before I used it.

This was 3 hours later curls still bouncy and I didn’t even use hairspray. It was on accident I completely forgot when I was already in the car. 

Here in the U.S. it can be purchased for $59.99 at Target, Ulta and Amazon

Have a great day!!

I woke up like at 6:30 this morning out of no where wide awake. I tossed and turned on the bed trying very hard to fall back asleep. No luck. So I rolled out of bed, daylight was barley peeking through the clouds.I grabbed a blanket and cuddled up with Gisele who sleeps on the couch to watch a morning movie. I thought it was the perfect time to try out my Old Factory Candles, I received the day before yesterday. I chose the cranberry scent, it smelled delicious. The scent quickly filled up our home, when Jon woke up for school he thought I was baking something. He was a little disappointed to find out it was a candle.

Each gift set comes with three candles, I wanted scents to go with fall so I chose the “Fall Harvest” Collection.

From Old Factory Candle site:

Old Factory candles are hand-poured in the USA with natural soy wax, self-trimming cotton candle wicks, and premium fragrance oils. The Old Factory Candle Gift Sets each contain 3 different scented candles. Each candle burns clean and even for 20 hours. The subtle jar design makes it the perfect complement for any decor, and any room of the house – kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, family room, great room, and basement. Each gift set is themed around a group of related fragrances. So everyone is sure to find something perfect for every occasion, every room in the house, and all the special someones in your life. Old Factory Candle Gift Sets are sold exclusively on Amazon.

These candles can be exclusively purchased from Amazon.

Have a great day!

Fab Kids- Juliana

About a month ago I was placing an order on Just Fab and when I finished my order a link for Fab kids popped up they were having a sale 2 of their outfits  for $29.99. I decided to give them a try I picked up this outfit for Juliana and another one for Jonathan (Ill do a separate post for his, he hasn’t worn his yet) If you havent heard of Fab kids it is a subscription site and they bill you $29.99 or you can always choose more items. If you do not want to be charged you just have to skip that month by the 5th of every month. I was a little skeptical, I really thought the material was going to be very flimsy and fall apart after the first wash. Its already been through two washes and still in good condition as for the sizes Juliana is a 2t-3t, this outfit I ordered was 3t and as you can see fits her a little big. I would say I was pretty satisfied with Julianas

Happy 1st of July

Budsies: Brings Children’s art work to life

Hello! a couple weeks ago I was contacted by a wonderful company with a Genius idea called Budsies. As As a parent of a 7 year old I have our fridge full of art and A+ spelling test and we now even save Jonathan’s art on his wall in his bedroom we’ve saved pretty much all his art since preschool. My mom use to do that for me when I was a kid and I use to love seeing all my art throughout the house. But than as I grew older my art started to disappear into boxes than maybe into the dumpster at some point although my mother wont confirm that and says it must be in the garage with the rest of the random (also known as junk)stuff she has in there.

This is where Budsies comes in and you can turn your child’s work of art into a custom plush toy are you still with me?? Genius didn’t I tell you…Its the perfect way for your child to be able to keep possibly forever and be able to give it to their children someday and tell them how it use to be something they drew brought to life. Its so creative, the smile that Jon had on his face when his packaged arrived and he opened the box was priceless. He had chose two one of them was a lion that he made last year from tearing up construction paper and the other was of a flower he drew from when his class went to a green house earlier this year. Being a big brother he really wanted the flower to be for Juliana. I cant wait until Juliana’s first art project so I can turn it into a Budsie plush toy. Jon cant wait until he is student of the week to show his entire class his Budsie and they also make cute totes with your childs drawing next to their Budsie its so cute. 

Best of all if you order during the month of November they are giving back, by producing and donating a replicate Budsie to a child in need.

You can place your order here 🙂

Happy drawing……
